EXCLUSIVE REVIEW BY HANUMANT BHANSALI
This Diwali colour your town with BLUE. The most awaited and phenomenal film of the year- BLUE has arrived. Dhilin Mehta and debutante Anthony D’souza delivers to the audience a high action pack thriller with never seen before underwater stunts. The movie stars one of the most experienced and daredevils- Akshay Kumar, Sanjay Dutt, Zayed Khan along with hot ‘n’ spicy Kylie Minogue, Katrina Kaif and voluptuous Lara Dutta.
250 feet deep lies the secret of Blue! And the secret is- deep down the ocean in Bahamas lies the treasure.
The story revolves around Aarav (Akshay Kumar) the owner of Blue Shipping &Fisheries. Aarav is one of the richest people in Bahamas. Taking risk is in his blood and daredevilry is his cult. Aarav’s greed and hunger for money has no boundaries and wants to be the richest of all.
Sagar (Sanjay Dutt) is Aarav’s close friend and employee. He is a simple and down to earth person. Loving Mona (Lara Dutta) and saving his brother Sam (Zayed Khan) is Sagar’s only motto. Sameer aka Sam (Zayed Khan) is a wanderer with enormous self confidence and never-dying passion for bikes. He unintentionally gets goofed up with the mafia in Bangkok and to hide he takes shelter in Bahamas.
Aarav as always aims big and this time he visions for the biggest of all- the Treasure lying in the arms of Pacific Ocean. This is a deadly task as it’s believed no one has ever come alive from the ocean. However Aarav has enough guts to fight the danger and face the peril. He pesters Sam for the same and convinces Sagar. And thus begins the hunt…..
This is kind of the movie never experienced in the history of Indian Cinema. It’s a top notch and above all action flicks made in the Industry till date. The movie experiences the great death defying stunts well executed by action director James Bomalick (Fast and Furious fame) keeping you at the edge of the seat. At few incidences one would practice goose- bumps all over the body and few would sure shot take away your breath.
Debutante Anthony D’Souza has lived to the expectations of all and gives an absolute substantial along with commercial flick. The bravery, determination, grit, vision and the financial backing for the project deserve a huge round of applause. The marine beauty has been wonderfully explored in the movie and the journey is absolutely delighting.
The movie has them all- great composition by A.R. Rahman, amazing cinematography by Laxman Utekar and Pete Zuccarini, fantastic sound design by Resul Pookutty, effective dialogues by Mayur Puri, exceptional screenplay by Anthony and Jasmine D’souza and finally last but not the least the extraordinary direction by Anthony D’souza.
However the climax could have been much better which lets you down and hardly makes sense and secondly there could have been more of action along with extra stunts.
On a whole BLUE is a stylish film and is a wonderful experience. The standards of the Indian cinema are surely to raise and induce people to think out of the box.
Radiosargam Movie Rating: 6/10

well said. its only a stylish movie n nothing else. looks like a stylish documenty with no story. no emotions, no comedy, no drama makes the movie dull. it’s a big time looser. had big expectations though. only bike chases are great. n the locales of bahamas. its a beautiful place. photography is first grade. no actor gets any credit.
the movie is not good.its strictly avg. its got style, action and ofcourse deep sea sequences, but story n climax aint gud. 2/5
